Can solaris work on virtual machine ?

i downloaded the iso files of solaris 10 for x86.
i used to check my cd first on VMware but unfortunately i get always the message that no bootable cd.
can solaris work in virtual machine environment?
thank you

can solaris work in virtual machine environment?The following URL says Solaris can be run as guest OS under VMware.

Mouse not working in Virtual machine (win2k3 32 and 64 bit) on Windows Server 2008 RC1 With Hyper-V Technologies

I have installed two virtual machines(win2k3 32bit and win2k3 64bit ) on Windows Server 2008 RC1 With Hyper-V Technologies (Beta) enterprise. Mouse is getting lost inside VM (using CTRL+ ATL + LEFT ARROW comes mouse control control in host OS).
Is there any setting to make mouse works? Insert Integration Serice setup Disk operation succeeds.

all credits for mike_something
The problem is that the old mousedriver is hooked to the mouse device class.
To remove this dependency, go into the registry and navigate to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E96F-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Remove the value msvmmouf from the UpperFilters Regvalue.
Reboot....
tadaaa!!
If you wish you can take out the drivers completely by deleting these registry hives completely :
The driver:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\msvmmouf
The Service:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VPCMap
The CopyHook Shell Extension: ( for folder access )
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{30C14BA C-122C-42ED-B319-1139DBF48EB8}\InProcServer32
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\CopyHookHandle rs\VPCCopyHook
After a reboot you can delete the "Virtual Machine Additions" folder from program files...
Good Luck!

PXE works on Virtual Machines by errors on physical

2012R2. Only 1 box for all roles. PXE has been working fine (both Virtial and Physical). 3 weeks ago all PXE stopped working. I was called in to look things over. Errors showed that the MP was having issues, so I uninstalled
the role and reinstalled. Now only Virtual machines will PXE....physicals throw the following error:
Support for Unknown computers is selected. I've tried both known and right out of the box computers with the same results.
Ideas?
-SuperDale

No difference in hardware...the sccm box is virtual. about 3 weeks ago customer says PXE stopped working. I got in and saw that the MP was corrupt, removed the role, reinstalled, now just virtual machine will PXE, but physical machine give
me the above error. The physical machines are from a batch of 15...they deployed the first ten before having the PXE issue...now we can't get any (including machines that we've PXE'd in the past too).

Can't create a Virtual Machine on new host - Error (2915)

This error is appearing when a Virtual Machine is created from scratch, or from a template. I've tried all of the recommendations I can find. All updates are in place, VMM reports agents are current, server is "OK". VMM Agent is running. Rebooted
many times.
Error (2915)
The Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) service cannot process the request. The object was not found on the server (xxxxxx).
WinRM: URL: [http://xxxxx:5985], Verb: [GET], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/virtualization/v2/Scvmm_EthernetSwitchPortInternalSettingData?InstanceID=Microsoft:Definition\1f59a509-a6ba-4aba-8504-b29d542d44bb\Default]
Unknown error (0x80338000)
Recommended Action
Ensure that the VMM agent is installed and running. If the error persists, restart the virtualization server (xxxxx) and then try the operation again.
This error can also happen due to an older version of the VMM agent on the virtualization server. Ensure that the VMM agent is upgraded to the latest version, and then try the operation again.

IP Virtualization not working in Virtual Machine on Hyper-V

Hello everyone. Have such issue. We are using cisco agent desktop for our users. For working in Terminal server environment it needs dedicated IP for each program session. Currently we'are using hardware server with Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with RDS.
We've added IPpool in registry for Virtualisation per program. It works fine. Now i'm trying to create a virtual machine with WS 2012 R2 with the same configuration(Hyper-V 2012 R2). The problem is it doesn't work. When creating new session or launching new
program i get APIPA address or get nothing at all. Will it work or still this functionality doesn't work?

have you setup the IP virtualization GPOs in the new environment?
computer configuration > administrative templates > windows components > remote desktop services > remote desktop session host > application compatibility
I'm not sure what regkeys you have implemented but you may want to see if they still apply to 2012 R2, you might have to remove them

Hi
Just alter the device from hda to hdb
eg
from
disk = ['file:/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EL4U5_X86_HVM_10GB/system.img,hda,w',
'file:/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EL4U5_X86_HVM_10GB/oracle10g_x86.img,hda,w',
',hdc:cdrom,r'......
to
disk = ['file:/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EL4U5_X86_HVM_10GB/system.img,hda,w',
'file:/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EL4U5_X86_HVM_10GB/oracle10g_x86.img,hba,w',
',hdc:cdrom,r' .......
this way you mount you system image root volume as a device [hda]
and your oracle10g image as a device [hdb]

Can't create new virtual machine with Virt-manager

After going through the whole setup, I would get this error through backtrace:
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/netlist.py", line 346, in validate_network
netobj.start()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/network.py", line 104, in start

if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virNetworkCreate() failed', net=self)
libvirtError: Unable to create bridge virbr0: File exists
Hence, I attempted to follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bridge_with_netctl to set up my network bridge and try again, and I'd still get the same error.
I also tried to do sudo virt-manager but I'd get:
** (virt-manager:16835): WARNING **: Could not open X display
No protocol specified
(virt-manager:16835): Gdk-ERROR **: error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.
I want to get KVM working using a gui and so I choice virt-manager, but now I'm stuck and don't know where to go from here.

Help Requested - Creating Solaris 10 x64 Virtual Machine on an ESX Server

Hi All,
I have been trying to create a Solaris 10 64 bit Virtual Machine on ESX and VMWare server Virtualization Platform.
One of the forum entries said - The installer doesn't really care. At every boot, the processor type will be determined and a 32-bit or a 64-bit kernel will be run (unless you override it)
I hence downloaded the iso from http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp and I installed it. When I run uname -a command on the terminal, this is what is displayed -
SunOS unknown 5.10 Generic_127128-11 i86pc i386 i86pc
This indicates that the kernel is 32 bit right?
Please help me create the 64 bit VM.
Thanks in Advance,
Raj.

Hi,
I am having lots of trouble doing a jumpstart

Do it a favour. Go Sarge box and goto /jumpstart/2.10/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot
and check do you have required kernel (kernel/sparcv9/unix)
also check your privilege for the file please.
I think it is possibly not mounting the nfs share. I
have already changed the NFS_client variable to 3
under etc/default/nfs in the Boot directory.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

Why my application can't can run with ojvm virtual machine

in my application ,i select the ojvm virtual machine in run configuration,but only the following returned:
1.Successful compilation: 0 errors, 0 warnings.
2.Process exited.
Debugger connection to debuggee process has been lost.
Debugger disconnected from local process.
when i change ojvm to server or anthing else ,there is not that problem any more.
why?

I have had this problem for months with no resolution from Oracle. Another similar machine works fine with OJVM. Go figure. Doesn't seem to be something Oracle is interested in resolving, but appears to be occurring on a variety of systems.

Expanding root partition in Solaris 10 VirtualBox virtual machine

I am running a Solaris 10 u8 x86 64-bit guest as a VirtualBox VM on a WinXP x64 host. I was running out of space in the guest VM, so I used CloneVDI (http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22422) to clone and expand the VM from 20GB to 30GB. Now I need to expand the / partition in the VM filesystem so that it sees the whole 30GB now available. What is the best way to do this within the Sol10 guest? Is there a way to simply add a new "extent" to the existing filesystem?
Thank you in advance...

* 2715 accessible cylinders*And here's the problem. The OS didn't care. This VTOC shows only ~20GB
16065 x 2717 / 2 / 1024 / 1024 => 20.81
The only way to change this is to blow it away and recreate it and hope your data survives. If you do it right it should, but you need to be prepared for it to not work.
You'd boot from alternate media (CD/DVD/network), then use 'fdisk' on the root drive. It'll have a 20GB Solaris partition on it. Destroy it and create a new one that is full size (40G).
Now run 'prtvtoc' on the drive again. If the number of sectors per cylinder is the same (just the number of cylinders increased), then you should be okay and able to continue. If the size of a cylinder changed, then your data will probably not be accessible.
Now take your original 'prtvtoc' output file and remove the line with slice 2 in it
* First Sector Last
* Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory
0 2 00 6345675 37270800 43616474 /

8 1 01 0 16065 16064
9 9 01 16065 32130 48194Use 'fmthard' to reapply the slices.
# fmthard -s <vtocfile> /dev/rdsk/c0d0s2Check the disk and all the slices should be back.
Verify root filesystem is still present and okay
# fsck -n /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0If all that is done, then you're really close. Since the root slice is at the end of the disk, increasing the size is simple. Just go into 'format -> partition' and edit slice 0. Keep the start cylinder the same, but change the number of cylinders to use the rest of the disk. When done type 'label' and exit format. If done correctly you can now run 'growfs /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0' to increase the size. Reboot and everything should come up.
The worst part is that when you increase the Solaris partition, I don't believe there's a guarantee that the cylinder size won't change. When I've attempted this, I haven't had any problems, but I've always been ready if it didn't work. When it works, it does save time.
Good luck!

Solaris 10 on Virtual Machine

Hi all,
I installed Solaris 10 on VM (VMWare).
For installing some application I need to partition disk like shown below (I added SCSI disk, 12 GB from VM settings):
DISKS:c2t0d0(12000)
SLICE:root:/:1024:-:-:-:c2t0d0s0:-
SLICE:swap:swap:512:-:-:-:c2t0d0s1:-
SLICE:var:/var:1200:-:-:-:c2t0d0s3:-
SLICE:opt:/opt:2048:-:-:-:c2t0d0s4:-
SLICE:log:/log:512:-:-:-:c2t0d0s5:-
SLICE:sybase_data_dev:/sybase_data_dev:4096:-:-:-:c2t0d0s6:-
SLICE:back:back:1024:-:-:-:c2t0d0s7:-
My first question is how to make those slices. I tried with format -> partition (following http://fengnet.com/book/Solaris_admin/ch01lev1sec15.html) and I can create root,swap and var but cannot proceed further (got message: opt is not expected).
Is there any way to make this with format or it can be done at another way?
Next step would be to install bootblock to c2t0dos0 (I tried with instalboot and got message: Installboot is obsolete. Use installgrub(1M) ).
There is a webpage with instructions regarding bootblock -> http://sun.drydog.com/faq/7.html
... but it does not work for me :-(
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Best regards,
Domagoj

I storgly doubt, VMware player is available for Solaris 10 SPARC version.
Solaris 10 is not a comercial product, like ubuntu, windows, MAC etc... It's really for a server.
That's the reason still I hate Solaris 11 as a desktop. You have very limited product/software.... This may change for Solaris 11, but U can't expect one for Solaris 10.

Can Solaris work with FAT32 or Linux Ext2?

I need to work with files on FAT32 disk from Solaris. Can I do it somehow???

I don't know the answer to Linux versions, but will say that you want to make sure that any LabVIEW add-ons/toolkits are available for the target you want, be it LinuX, MacOS, or whatever. There are a lot of features in "native" LabVIEW for the Windows environment that aren't available for the other OS platforms.

Will separate devicenet and CAN cards work in one machine?

I have an application that must talk to CAN and DeviceNet at the same time. NI's documentation says that DNET must be removed to run NI-CAN and vice versa. Will they play together if two cards are installed?

Currently, NI-CAN and NI-DNET cannot be installed on the same machine at the same time, regardless of the number of cards that are installed in the machine.
However, with some work, it is theoretically possible to install only NI-CAN, implement the CAN interface as normal, then, since the DNET protocol is built on CAN, use NI-CAN to implement DeviceNet functionality on another card.

How do you get the two step security to work with virtual machines running under parallels?

I use Quickbooks running on a virtual PC under Parallels. I have always have Quickbooks interface with Thunderbird on the PC side to email invoices to customers using my apple email account.
Once I switched to two-step verification security, Apple doesn't recognize the "new" computer trying to access my mail account, but it also doesn't send any kind of code to a second device to authorize the access.
For now, I've had to switch back to the traditional security and the above process immediately works again 9without asking me any security questions).
Is there a way to have Apple recognize the virtual PC (or any other non-Mac computer) with two-step verification security?

You have to go to your Apple ID and generate application specific passwords.

Have you updated Vista to SP2 yet and then update the IE browser to IE9?
You may want to do that first if you have not done so already.
I don't know how to troubleshoot those kind of issues.
You may want to start a new thread asking for help with getting the flash player to work correctly if you are already at that stage.
